A Shift Lever Question with a different angle - Literally

[98Elnegrotigre]

Hello fellow Steam engineers. Just got a new to me 98 black Steamer (Pictures coming soon). I bought the MFW footpeg lowering kit and the footpegs are further out from the bike and the small shift lever from the factory is almost impossible to use with the new pegs. I saw a few articles on aftermarket shift levers but couldn't quite make out what the best current solution is. The stock shift lever is complex, heavy and a weaker link on a great bike. Is there any way to extend the shifter for more length or is a new one the way to go? Thank you for your time.

As i understand it, he needs to lengthen the piece on the end of the gear lever?

Maybe cut it off, drill it out, and insert a long bolt or something like that?
